We had a fantastic time hanging out with Jeff from @atombrewingco this morning! What an inspiring little brewery, making truly unique beers!

Yesterday we had the honor of brewing with a fantastic and award winning brewery in Denver, @omfbrewing (Our Mutual Friend). We brewed a CO/MI Brett saison with 50% CO ingredients and 50% MI ingredients, including aged hops from both states. We are stoked to see what happens with this beer! Here is OMF’s head brewer Jan dumping some Speciation cultures into their fermentor!

We all love @citybuilt brewing company here at Speciation. For those that don’t know, we have a tight relationship with City Built, as they brew most of our wort for us! #craftbeer #sourbeer #greyhound #citybuiltbrewing #barrelaged

We are extremely excited to be a part of Zwanze for the first time ever, hosted by the iconic @jollypumpkin on September 29th. Tickets are still available, so pick some up today! #sourbeer #barrelaged #milkthefunk #zwanze #cantillon #craftbeer

Adam is transferring spent peaches out of batch 2 of Peach Genetic Drift (B1 won a silver medal at the World Beer Cup in 2018). The spent peaches are going into a fresh tank with Biomimicry wort, where we will ferment with the second use peaches, dry hop with Amarillo, Citra, and Chinook, and then add a touch of vanilla. Then we will can this creation/abomination as... Biomimetic. The weird cousin of Biomimicry. #milkthefunk #sourbeer #wildale #canconditioned #craftbeer

We just picked up some Michigan sugar for priming our bottles, cans, and kegs. Every single beer we release is carbonated inside the bottle/can/keg by dosing the batch with sugar, packaging, and storing at room temp to referment and carbonate the vessel. We like using this method because it’s natural, affordable, and requires no special equipment or temperature control. It’s also essential for our beers long term stability because the live yeast inside the vessel will scavenge oxygen and keep the beer tasting fresh... even our hoppy beers. Oh, and we like the bubbles from naturally carbonated beer better as well! Cheers! #bottleconditioned #canconditioned #sourbeer #milkthefunk #barrelaged #puremichigan
